I want to setup mailman for a public mailing list.

It should run on a special server (host B) located in the DMZ of our company.

The mail server (host A) of our institution runs inside the firewall, and cannot run a public http server. Also, no NFS mounts can be made between the mail server A and the 'mailman' host B.

Currently, host A is configured as 'smart host' in B's sendmail configuration. B does no mail handling by itself, and has no 'users'.
All mail, if any occurs, is forwarded to A for handling.


We have extensive spam and virus filtering setup for the mail server host A, and I want to use this also for mail coming into the mailing list.

i.e. A should be the recipient for all mail (list submissions, list management requests) for the mailman mailing lists, should process it through its spam and virus filtering, and then forward it to the mailman host B for processing by mailman.

I have currently no clear understanding how I need to configure
- sendmail on both, A, and B, to make this work
- mailman on host B, to hide the origin from B in all outgoing mail addresses (it can be visible in the Received headers)


Where do I find advice or HOWTO information for such a setup?
